Don't worry about memory, just add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:
device=himem.sys
Now you can use all that juicy memory over 640KB!

I helped my mother (74 years old at the time) install Debian in her new computer, through a voice-only call. I was surprised how easy it is to do it nowadays.

The idea is to have decentralized power. Imagine how cool would be to have little 30-years-lifespan nuclear reactors? (Something like what is described in The Martian.) But nooo, humans gotta be cunts, so no ponies for us.

Coincidentally, just today I had an issue that's only solvable by rooting the
phone. It is a pretty stupid bug too, I want to connect through WiFi to an
isolated LAN, but the device *requires* Internet access otherwise it
auto-disconnects. The only way to change this behaviour is by changing a setting
with adb, with su access, which I most probably won't be able to get (Galaxy S6 /
T-Mobile locked).

[...] yet no evidence of any criminal activities or even generic "wrong doing" has emerged. [...] they would have provided the evidence by now. [...] Evidence...where is it?
Trump himself provided the evidence. He affirmed he fired Comey so the "russier" investigation would end quickly. That's obstruction of justice.

Of course, they should just change the User-Agent to "Microsoft Edge" and the CPU consumption will drop to 1%.

Sure, Trump is an asshole
IMHO that's the least relevant part of his personality. What is worrisome is the scammer part. How many other presidents ran scams like Trump University?

The Constitution allows for the states to call a convention proposing an amendment, completely bypassing the Federal Congress.
Five states have already passed bills calling for the convention, 29 more states are needed:

Attached to: GNOME 3.22 Desktop Environment Officially Released
Update: I couldn't fix the shell extensions, so I gave up on Gnome (the alt+tab behavior was a deal-breaker) . I tried Cinnamon for the first time, and I was able to configure it just the way I need it. And Nemo has my beloved type-ahead, it is perfect! I guess I have to thank you, I was not planning on upgrading Gnome before your suggestion. :D

I wanted to upgrade my system* before I replied to you... I was using 3.18, now I've upgraded to 3.22: search still sucks. Before 3.6 it worked perfectly like I wanted, it emulated my terminal use case - I know there is a a folder named "stuff", so I type "cd s[tab][enter]" and there it, in less than half a second I'm there. With older nautilus I just typed "s[enter]" and there I was, same speed. But not anymore.
And I *did* report to the developers, like the hundreds of others who were sufficiently annoyed to voice their dissatisfaction. We were ignored. Now I rant on random websites, where people make a lot of assumptions about what others did or didn't.
* And now I'm back to fix all the gnome-shell extensions that stopped working, oh joy.
